NEW!

• The text provides examples for the students to work at the conclusion of each major section of a chapter, which we call, “Can You Do It?” followed by “How Did You Do?” several pages later in the text. This tool provides the essential ingredient to the building-block approach to the material that we use.

• Chapter Summaries carefully linked to chapter objectives.

• “Did you get it?” tool substituted for review questions at the end of each major segment.

• Learning-objectives are now located in the margins at the appropriate location.

• Key terms-bold key terms are located in the margins where the term first appears with the full definitions provided in alpha order at the end of the chapter with page number references.

• All new examples provided in most chapters; simplified and made more intuitive to nature.
